Mission Statement
Our belief is that rural and small town living is a way of life worth being promoted and preserved. Through grass root efforts, our mission is to promote Ringgold County outdoor activities and projects, thus, stimulating economic development and encouraging family values and community fellowship.
About This Cause
ROA is a non-profit organization, established in 2008, where outdoor activities flourish and residents are proud to call home. This year at our ROA Annual Banquet, our largest fundraiser, we hope to make our biggest year ever. All money raised goes back into Ringgold County. We have funded various events and projects including: building playgrounds, shelter house for a local recreational lake, walleye fish stocking for Loch Ayr Lake, archery student program, gun safety initiatives, community events and activities, and most projects that are geared towards outdoor events. It is a known fact that exercise and improved mental health positively impact those people with such diagnoses of: diabetes, neurological disorders, heart disease, respiratory disease and mental health. Our community, like others, have experienced loss of ones to suicide and so our community is coming together to raise awareness of mental health and the signs and symptoms of suicide and especially what to do about it. ROA believes we can make a difference through our efforts by increasing outdoor activities, especially for our youth. We are working to complete an outdoor sand volleyball court and half court basketball court in the center of our town. It is in close proximity to the teen center, bowling alley and moving theater where our youth hang out. Mount Ayr does not have any sort of recreation center available for students or community members to utilize. This location will enable the facility to be utilized during community festivals and celebrations that are held on the square throughout the year as well as on a daily basis. We are also planning to use lighting to expand the time use of the courts. We hope you will support our main fund raiser of the ROA Annual Banquet. All of the money we raise goes back into Ringgold County. I learned about your program through Peggy Schlurger and I hope you recognize the positive efforts our organization makes for our community.
